Women are more likely to develop certain eye diseases, like age-related macular degeneration (AMD), cataracts, and dry eye. The difference may be due in part to longevity, hormonal differences, and genetic factors.

Scheduling a comprehensive eye exam at least one a year is an excellent first line of defense against eye disease, but you should contact your doctor sooner if you notice any visual changes. Call 215.276.6111 to make an appointment at The Eye Institute.
